Mosaic tiles, dimensions variable

Story

Mosaic tiles are a signature of Wang Wei’s recent work. He engages the challenges of space and its architect, in this case, the beach. Laying pieces of sea-colored mosaic tiles on a beach area next to the ocean, Elevated Sea Level imitates the sea’s surface emerging from a strange, yet familiar area. Koh Klang is an unusual area in Krabi – a hidden gem within a fairly closed community, approachable by tourists, yet still welcoming to outsiders.
The location, together with the presentation of this work, portrays a natural phenomenon that absurdly acknowledges the unstable relationships between man and nature. Here, a man-made object is introduced into the environment that responds to the surrounding nature itself. The work is a layering of contradictions, bringing the viewer a step closer to the ‘Edge of the Wonderland.’
